Chapter 5 - A lucky lightning (3)

Monkies in trees
MAKI

What if there are animals in the cave?

BINDU

There are none!

MAKI

Miss Elphi, why are lightnings so dangerous?

MONKITO

What a question! They can fry you, Maki. You can get "hot monkeys" if hit by a lightning.

ELPHI

In any case, the lesson is that whenever there are heavy rains and thunders, it’s better to get out of the water immediately, and also to look for a shelter.

BINDU

Do you hear that noise?

MAKI

Yes, t hey are sending us a message.

BINDU

Who?

MONKITO

Our monkey cousins from this jungle.

ELPHI

What are they saying?

MONKITO

They say there are bears in the cave

ELPHI

That’s not possible!

MAKI

No? And what are those big eyes shining in the dark?

ELPHI

Out, children, out of the cave! Back to the trees!!

MONKITO

Miss Elphi, hurry! Come with us!

MAKI

Miss Elphi, where are you going?

ELPHI

No bear is going to touch my beloved monkeys!
